    So you're saying cruel behavior by students should be encouraged by school administrators? I thought the job of adults was to teach justice and humanity to children. Silly, silly me.

    Yes, the world is a tough, cruel place. It shouldn't be anyone's job to make it moreso. Yes, school toughened me up. And I've forgiven very few of the people involved.

    This thread has now gone awfully off-topic and I know I sound unreasonably bitter about my own school experiences. I am, and so it sickens me to hear about parents using the system to knowingly create hardships for other children.
